“had such a wonderful experience at Seasons 52! My husband and I came here for dinner and really enjoyed everything from the atmosphere to the food and service.
The restaurant has a beautiful, elegant atmosphere without feeling overly formal, which made it perfect for a nice dinner together. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that a lot of attention goes into both the ingredients and the way each dish is prepared.
The service was also excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional without making us feel rushed. We were able to relax, enjoy our dinner, and have a really nice evening together.
I also loved that the menu has plenty of options while still feeling thoughtful rather than overwhelming. And definitely save room for dessert!
Overall, we had a great experience and left very happy with our choice. Seasons 52 is definitely a place we would come back to for another date night or special occasion. Highly recommend!“

“Our server Graham was OUTSTANDING!! We were in town for a conference and the team came here for dinner.

Everyone's orders were very good. I had the steak bowl and it was so so good.

We also tried creme brulee and the butter cake? Which was next level.

This place is legit. I wanna come back to Indy just to give this another try.“

“Just ate at Twin Peaks - Indy for the first time, food was great, atmosphere was great, service was great. Gabrielle was the best waitress I’ve ever had!!“

“Amazing food and service! Highly recommend it!“

“We absolutely LOVE!!! We come up every year from Evansville for our Daughters birthday We love it so much, see you tonight !“

“Must have been an off night I’m guessing? Service was horrible, & most of the food was great, special salmon dish for onion allergy family member over salted. Shrimp & grits, burgers, & Mac & cheese were great, “lump” crab hush puppy’s are made with artificial crab meat.“

“Fantastic food and people! 5 out of 5 all around. Ryan’s food is fantastic and Dee is warm, friendly and very accommodative. Best kept secret in Indy! Highly recommend you find time to visit and experience this awesome small business.“

“A beautiful and amazing restaurant all around! My husband and I had our anniversary dinner last night, and the staff went above and beyond to make this one of the best dining experiences we ever had! All the food and drinks we had were beyond amazing! Thank you for making our night so memorable!“

“My family and I went here to celebrate my dad’s birthday and we had the most incredible experience! Our waiter, William, was so kind, as well as knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make our experience feel so special!
The food was so delicious too! I had the salmon and it was so good! The banana caramel dessert was heavenly too!
I highly recommend William and RH!(:“

“As a person with a long list of food sensitivities, it's hard to go out to eat with my friends. The server made sure to ask the chef about menu options so I'd be safe. This place has lots of options so I could enjoy a nightshade-free meal and time with friends! Brunch was also affordable. The wait was long, but the attached coffee shop gave us a perfect place to wait for a table.“

“My kids say they High Velocity has the best ice cream ever and they rate it 5 stars! The pretzels and beer cheese were also delicious! Great snack before the Indians game!“

“The food and service at this restaurant is TOP NOTCH. THE BEST. Anyone from any culinary background will be able to appreciate the atmosphere and service provided by the professional staff here. The hostesses were not only polite, but overly hospitable. Our server Mike and the manger Brandon made the night extra spectacular. Glasses always full, Food always followed up upon. That is a rare service provided in this day and age. The specials are always fresh and delightful, and their mainstays are what keep us coming back. Great for a special occasion or a regular special night out. If you haven’t eaten here recently or ever, you are really missing out!“

“Nashville location was perfect for a gluten free birthday meal and drinks!! Try the Pink Pony and dip platter! Huge selection of tequilas. Julia and Shawn were personable and timely!“

“This place has amazing food but the google pin has the wrong address. Luckily my fiance noticed the address on the website is different. I almost cancelled my order but once I found it, it was some of the best food I've had in a long while.

2801 Lafayette Road is where you want to be“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, upscale ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable night. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance—elegant and modern, yet still comfortable and welcoming. But let’s talk about the food—because wow. Every dish was a masterpiece! Bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with top-tier ingredients and serious culinary skill. Each bite was better than the last, and you could tell the kitchen is passionate about what they do. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both luxury and soul, this is it. Already counting down the days until I can go back!“

“Our first time here, short wait time, our waitress was great but the food! It was delish plus and so fresh tasting… I recommend the sweet potato chips and made fresh to order guacomole… we had the street tacos, chicken with mango salsa and spiced street corn ! It’s an hour and a half drive but one we will make again!“

“Everything from the minute you walk in the front door till the time you leave - the service is impeccable and the staff make you feel like family. The food presentation and flavors are a culinary experience explosion in your mouth - it’s that good! … I had the delicious Tart. Seriously, it was so scrumptious and I felt like royalty when the dish was placed infront of me. Incredible. Delicious. Unbelievable.“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.“

“Been going to this family owned and operated business for thirty years,moved to Avon Indiana and I still travel the distance for great 🍕 🥂“

“My Lamb Burger was good! Nice indoor seating and very clean. The Beginning Burger & Nashville Hot Chicken, onion rings and fries all good! Friendly staff. We even received complimentary Birthday Desserts. Great Place Downtown! Will be back🥳💜“

“Tavern at the Point is my favorite place to go every weekend! The food is always fantastic and the staff are always so positive and nice. I’ve never had a bad experience here, I highly recommend Tavern! 5/5 stars, easily.“

“Had dinner on Monday for a private event. I’m still thinking about it days later. Best meal I’ve had in a while. The brisket was cooked so uniquely I’ve never had anything like it. 15/10. Service was excellent.“

“We ate here based on the fact it was right by the hotel. The atmosphere and decor was nice with a nice bar and TVs all around to see the sports games and the menu options were good. The food was amazing! I had the smoked wings, my son had the pulled pork with kettle chips and my husband the mahi tacos. We all loved our dishes! Our server was a little scarce seemed like maybe he had too many tables but he was nice and got everything we wanted. I would recommend the restaurant!“

“I wish I could give this restaurant six stars! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

I work in the activities department at a retirement community, and once a month, our long-term-care residents choose a restaurant for a lunch outing. Flashbacks was their choice for September, and to our surprise, 17 residents wanted to attend! Including staff, we had a group of approximately 25 people.

I called about 10 minutes before opening to let the restaurant know that our large group was on its way. The young woman who answered was very professional and kindly explained that she would be the only server working that shift. I assured her that we understood and would be patient.

When we arrived, Samantha had already arranged enough space for everyone, including many residents who use wheelchairs. She helped ensure that each person was seated promptly as we unloaded the bus, and she stayed on top of drink orders as everyone arrived.

Knowing that Samantha was working alone, our team stepped in to assist wherever we could. We may not be professional servers, but we genuinely enjoy making life easier for others. Samantha was wonderful about allowing us to help her with taking orders and delivering meals. She kept a smile on her face throughout what could easily have been an overwhelming situation. She kept drinks filled, organized every order, and arranged the meals so we could hand them to the correct residents. Because each resident and staff member had a separate ticket, she also carefully verified every order before sending it to the kitchen.

I am equally grateful to the kitchen staff. Although they were working behind the scenes, they consistently prepared hot, delicious food despite receiving so many separate orders at once. If our large group overwhelmed anyone, they never showed it.

Every resident and staff member left with a full stomach and a smile. Samantha was truly a blessing, and the entire team made our residents feel welcomed and cared for.

Thank you, Flashbacks, for providing such a wonderful experience! You are an amazing restaurant, and I cannot wait to return on my own for a relaxing and enjoyable meal.“

“I love this place! So nice and always delicious. What a great neighborhood restaurant with amazing food and a huge beer list. Grateful for them!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful food and great staff! went to Indy race and stumbled across this gem!“

“This place is AMAZING!! The staff and service can't be beat! They work well together to run everything smoothly. The food and drinks are always PERFECT!! The kitchen crew are precise and effective! I've Never seen a manager jump in and work so hard during a busy rush! Anthony, Liz, Aubrey, Steven, Kendall, Sal, Ben, and Gaige! All the bussers, and runners run thing so smoothly too!! I wish I knew every name to put all in this review! If I could; I'd give this a place a 100 * rating.“

“all food has been good.!!!“

“I took a work group of 6 for dinner and everything was excellent. They did run about 20 minutes past our reservation time to seat us but once we were accommodated the service, recommendations, cocktails and food were all exceptional. We will back if ever in the area again.“

“Relaxing and fun to be in“

“Beautiful experience last night here for our wedding anniversary. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I had the chef’s tasting menu which was amazing. Thank you all for a fun night and amazing food! We will be back!“

“I tried the burger at Big Walt's Wings & More and it was seriously one of the best I’ve had in a while. The patty was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The bun was fresh and held everything together perfectly without getting soggy.

You can tell it’s made fresh, not just thrown together. Every bite had great flavor, and the portion size was solid for the price. Definitely not your average fast-food burger.

If you’re in the area, the burger alone is worth the stop.“

“This is a very busy sports bar. We rolled in around 10:30 pm and they were slammed still. It becomes 21+ with security on the door. You seat yourself at this point. The waitstaff seemed a little over whelmed. It took 20 minutes to get drinks and food in. They bussing tables clear but not right away so it was just kinda busy and cluttered looking. The crowd grew by the way, later it got the more people showed up. The burger and cheese curds were delicious and a good size portions. I am sure with normal staffing and a great sports day vibe this place would get all five stars, but tonight it was just a four.“

“Excellent experience! Recommended for atmosphere and sophisticated design in a very approachable setting for all types of casual business engagements!“

“Great place for the vibes. Beer was pretty dang good and the pub burger was great although I thought the patty could use a little more salt (easily fixed with a couple shakes). Got the cheddar Mac on the side for mine which was kinda lackluster but some one else got the potato salad which was SO GOOD. Our waitress was a little curt but I think she was just having a bad day so not gonna mind it. Overall great experience definitely worth checking out just for the atmosphere alone.“

“Went here for the first time last week for my wife's birthday. I was very impressed with how friendly the staff was. Chris Collord was our server and was excellent. The food was also very high quality and very delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone.“

“Dined at the hotel restaurant several times during my stay. My hotel and this hotel share a parking lot. The Residence Inn and the Marriott Courtyard are directly across from each other. It was very convenient, considering how late I returned to my hotel after long day at IMS. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Burgers, flatbreads, & chicken sandwich options. Served very quickly as well. Everything was cooked to order and pretty good. Can get crowded depending on the time. They also offer breakfast, but I never made that.

Parking: Charged for parking. Even when staying as a guest.“

“Our brunch experience was superb thanks to Allen & crew! Fast service, delicious cocktails & you truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! If you’re in the area Petite Chou is a must try!!“

“The Ocarina of Fries! I’ve never tasted anything like this in my life of dining. Waffle Sweet potato fries with cinnamon and Brown sugar, Cream cheese sauce topped w/ Chives! OMGOODNESS!!! Then The Perfect Pizza totally lived up to its name. Oven baked Flatbread, marinara from the gods, old world pepperoni, fresh mozzarella and peppadew peppers. I added chorizo. Deeeeeeeeelicious! Soooo good!“

“good stuff! they definitely feed you! portions are big!“

“About half way through the best banana bread I’ve ever had and so many great other flavors I’ve tried so far 🔥🔥“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“I been to several locations Riley Methodist unvistery IU North IU West iu Morgan IU South at the time ball memorial these doctors and nurses really know what thier doing shout out to Dr Charles Yates at Goodman Hall“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere. I like these quaint, old-school bars. Just right! The tacos on Tuesday are good. The chicken wings anytime are my favorite. Absolutely sizzling hot when they are served. Got a basket of crinkle cuts before the wings came out and washed it all down with ice cold beer that was reasonably priced. Will always stop in before race nights at the nearby dirt track. Great job Generations Grill!“

“Surprisingly good! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from a museum cafe; I was just wanted a quick bite. However, my bacon cheeseburger was actually really good! I can definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the museum at lunchtime.“

“The day before my dad’s funeral, I went to the mall to buy a pair of black pants. There’s often something cathartic for me about the anonymity of the mall, of being surrounded by people all set on their own missions, none of whom are concerned about who you are or what you’re there for. Yet, I cried my way through that shopping trip, lonely and unmoored, trying to imagine a world without my dad. And then I stumbled into the Cafe.

I’d been once or twice before. I found myself at Keystone often in the months prior because my hairstylist was located in the salon suites across the way. But on this day, when no one else had seen me crying, and the anonymity of it all had begun to feel more like an anvil than a blessing, Miss Sonya saw me.

She remembered my order. She called it out the second I walked through the door, and met me at my table with a goat cheese panini and a carafe of Coke because she knew I’d want a refill. She spoke gently, familiarly, aware of my tenderness in a way that reminded me I wasn’t alone.

In that moment, I wasn’t invisible. My grief was shared. Maybe she’ll read this one day and know how much it meant to me. Maybe she won’t. But I guess what I’m saying is: Some people have their neighborhood pub or the quirky coffeeshop around the corner from their job. I have the Nordstrom Cafe. And there’s something kind of beautiful about that.“
